Sales to new listings

One ratio tells you who has the leverage.

Above roughly 60% and prices come under upward pressure. Below 45% and leverage moves to buyers. City-wide Calgary sits at 56% — but no one buys the city-wide number.

Property type

Four markets, not one.

Calgary is not a single market. Each property type is carrying different supply, different pressure and a different strategy this month. Averaging them together is how people price wrong.

Detached

Seller leaning
$750,500benchmark — down about 1% year over year

1,202 sales in June against a 60% sales-to-new-listings ratio. The tightest segment in the city, and the one where well-priced homes still move quickly.

Semi-detached

Balanced, tight
$694,600benchmark — in line with last year

234 sales against 2.5 months of supply. The tightest segment after detached, with well-presented listings still drawing multiple showings in the first week.

Row

Balanced, softening
3.4 monthsof supply — 1,152 active listings against 338 sales

District benchmarks sit 2–10% below last year. Pricing to the most recent comparables, not to spring expectations, is what separates sold from sitting.

Apartment

Buyer’s market
$299,000benchmark — down about 9% year over year

Around five months of supply and a 45% ratio. High-density inventory is elevated, giving buyers real negotiating room. Sellers need sharp pricing and patience.

How to read it

Move the marker. See what it means for you.

Buyers set the pace

Listings are being added faster than they clear. That is Calgary’s apartment segment right now at 45%. Buyers get time to think, room to negotiate on price and conditions, and real choice between comparable units. Sellers in this band cannot price to hope — they price to the last three genuine comparables and present the home properly, or they sit.

Neither side holds all the cards

This is where the city sits overall, at 56%. Good homes still sell, but nothing sells itself. Preparation decides the outcome: correct pricing from day one, professional presentation, and a negotiating position argued from evidence. Buyers should expect competition on the best listings and none at all on the rest.

Sellers hold the leverage

Demand is clearing new supply faster than it arrives, which pushes prices up. Detached Calgary sits right at this boundary. Buyers need to be fully prepared before they view — financing arranged, conditions tight, decisions fast — because the best homes will attract other offers within days of listing.

What I watch

The four signals worth watching.

  • DemandSales are running about 4% below last June, and slower migration is cooling higher-density demand first. Detached demand is holding firmest where supply is scarcest.
  • PricingThe city-wide benchmark hides the spread: detached nearly flat, apartments down roughly 9%. Comparable sales decide your price. Averages never do.
  • InventoryJust over three months of supply city-wide, close to five for apartments. Every property type needs its own market conversation.
  • TimingBalanced markets reward preparation. Sellers win on presentation and pricing discipline. Buyers have room in high-density segments, less in tight detached pockets.

From data to decision

What the numbers change for you.

01

If you’re buying

Conditions decide how aggressive your offer needs to be — timing, conditions, competition and comparables set the play.

Buyer strategy → 02

If you’re selling

A disciplined launch prices against live competing inventory and buyer behaviour — not last quarter’s headline.

Seller strategy → 03

If you want a number

City averages can’t value one home. Location, condition, lot, upgrades and live competition turn data into a range.

How this page stays honest

Every figure above comes from the official CREB monthly statistics release for June 2026 and stays put until the next release. Nothing here is estimated, smoothed or rounded up to look better, and no number is refreshed quietly between releases. If a figure on this page is stale, it is because the next release has not landed yet — not because it stopped being convenient.
